“…This leads to one of the most important contributions of this research. If cost can be analogized with punishment and benefit can be analogized with reward, we can safely say that this conclusion is in line with Pérez and Kiss (as cited in Kurniadi, et al 2014) who state that "people are better in anticipating punishment compared to rewards" (p. 1823). Such perception of loss and anticipation of that loss may significantly contribute to strengthening an individual's motivation to change her/his habitual behaviors such as driving private cars.…”

The management of mass public transportation requires the psychology of transportation in order to design and operate a transportation system which suits the social psychology dimension of urban citizens. The aim of this research is to examine the role of personality traits, sedentariness, and personal dilemma in predicting the intention of a particular group of urban citizens to switch from using private cars to using mass public transportation. This research uses the predictive correlational design, while the research data are analyzed using the multiple linear regression technique in order to identify the main effects and interaction effects of variables which may serve as the predictors of intention. This research involves 280 university students (111 males and 169 females, with M age = 20.90 years old and SD age = 1.943 years old) who live in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, and its surrounding urban areas as samples. The research finds that, among the Big Five personality traits, conscientiousness is the only trait which can significantly predict the intention of private car users, while sedentariness is not capable of predicting such intention. The research also finds that losses in terms of time and safety incurred from the use of private cars can lead to a much stronger intention to switch to mass public transportation. The implications of this research on the development of policies regarding transportation are elaborated in the final section of this paper.

“…Masalah pengemis merupakan fenomena yang ada di seluruh dunia, namun fenomena ini lebih banyak terjadi di negara-negara berkembang (Namwata, Mgabo& Dimoso, 2012), termasuk Indonesia. Jumlah pengemis di Indonesia sendiri mencapai 15 juta orang, dan jumlah ini termasuk dalam lima yang terbesar di dunia (Kurniady, Fresty, Kwan, Sharron & Abraham, 2014). Hampir seluruh kota-kota besar yang ada di Indonesia memiliki jumlah pengemis yang cukup tinggi (Purnama & Yuliani, 2015).Jumlahnya yang terus meningkat dalam masyarakat dikarenakan tidak adanya pekerjaan yang sesuai bagi orang-orang yang kurang atau tidak memiliki keterampilan pada suatu profesi khusus dan masyarakat tidak bisa secara efektif memecahkan permasalahan ini, sehingga mengemis merupakan sebuah sarana untuk mereka beradaptasi terhadap lingkungan agar dapat bertahan hidup (Ahamdi, 2010).…”

“…1, Januari 2019 37 penghasilan (Namwata, Mgabo & Dimoso, 2012). Tingginya pendapatan yang diperoleh pengemis juga menjadi faktor mereka menjadikan mengemis sebagai profesi (Kurniady, Fresty, Kwan, Sharron & Abraham, 2014;Taufiki, 2015).Pengemis juga sudah tidak ada lagi rasa malu dalam menjalankan profesinya, sehingga mereka mau melakukan pekerjaan seperti itu tanpa menghiraukan harga diri (Riskawati & Syani, 2013). Padahal, Baron & Byrne (2004) menyatakan bahwa harga diri, merupakan aspek yang sangat penting dalam berfungsinya manusia, karena manusia memang sangat memperhatikan berbagai hal tentang diri, termasuk siapa dirinya, seberapa positif atau negatif seorang individu memandang dirinya, bagaimana citra yang ditampilkan pada orang lain, dan lain-lain.…”

Masalah pengemis merupakan fenomena yang ada di seluruh dunia, terutama diberbagai daerah perkotaan seperti di Kota Banda Aceh. Tingginya arus urbanisasi menyebabkan tingkat kemiskinan meningkat di perkotaan sehingga muncul berbagai permasalahan sosial seperti perilaku mengemis. Perilaku mengemis menjadi sorotan dan dikaitkan dengan harga diri yang rendah yang dapat berimplikasi pada cara individu menerima dirinya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara penerimaan diri dengan harga diri pada pengemis di Kota Banda Aceh. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan teknik incidental sampling. Sampel pada penelitian ini berjumlah 60 orang responden. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah modifikasi skala penerimaan diri yang dikembangkan oleh Berger dan Adaptasi Skala Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RES). Analisis data menggunakan teknik Spearman Rank-Order Correlation. Hasil penelitian menemukan korelasi antara penerimaan diri dengan harga diri sebesar r = 0,273 dengan nilai signifikansi p = 0,035 (p 0,05) menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang positif antara penerimaan diri dengan harga diri pada pengemis di Kota Banda Aceh. Artinya semakin tinggi penerimaan diri maka akan semakin tinggi pula harga diripengemis, dan sebaliknya.Sebagian besar pengemis dalam penelitian ini memiliki harga diri yang rendah (45%) dan penerimaan diri yang rendah (40%). Pengemis yang memiliki harga diri yang rendah memilliki sifat pasif, rendah diri, pemalu dan kurang berani melakukan interaksi sosial. Rendahnya penerimaan diri pada pengemis menyebabkan mereka pasrah atas nasib dan penilaian pihak lain terhadap mereka sehingga menyebabkan pengemis tidak memilliki kemauan untuk melakukan perubahan dalam kehidupan.Kata Kunci: Penerimaan Diri, Harga Diri, Pengemis

“…The research on begging behavior was also carried out in Indonesia. Kurniadi (2014) identified that the causative factors can be grouped into two, namely external factors (such as not having the capital to open a business, the difficulty of getting a job, the lure of high income from begging, offspring from parents who are beggars, environmental influences that the majority of whom become beggars) and internal factors (suffering from illness and laziness). Susanto and Yuhandra (2018) in their research found that beggars operate in groups and are organized.…”

Quranic Forensic on Begging: Formulating Policies and Action Plans to Handle Street Beggars

Begging behavior is a serious issue and happens on a wide scale, especially in urban areas. In Islamic normative point of view, the Quran has a distinctive perspective towards beggars. In Sura al-Mā‘ūn [107]: 3, Allah swt. encourages Moslem people to pay attention to poor beggars. In contrast, in other verses, al-Jāthiyah [45]: 7, al-Quran criticizes people who are lying for the sake of other’s mercy with a mode and guise of a falsehood. In fact, the begging behavior nowadays is not only caused by the economic problem, but beggars even make it as a preferable profession. The biggest problem in handling the beggar issues is the difficulty to differentiate between the genuine and the professional beggar. If we examine thoroughly using an analysis of the Quran verses, there is a distinctive characteristic of those beggars. These at least can be identified through the micro-expression, sound pressure, and eye tracking. The analysis of the human’s track and physical fact through al-Quran here is what the authors intend as Quran forensic. Based on the distinguishing indicators from the analysis of the Quran forensic, this article found a new model for solving beggar problems with a multidisciplinary approach.
